Rogue Bull Takes On Crowd In Pamplona

| , , ,

Watch this raw video of 2009's San Fermines - the Running of the Bulls. At first nothing out of the ordinary as drunk Spaniards, Basques and tourists run with the bulls on the way to the bullring. However watch what happens about halfway through as a big bull gets separated from the pack and goes on the attack - standing off as the crowd circles him. Watch as he charges into the crowd to gore a few revelers - one has died.



Say what you want about bullfighting - at least once in a while the bulls get a little payback. If it were me, I'd rather spend an afternoon dying in the arena than spending my days on the feedlot waiting patiently for my time on the killing floor. I guess that's what separates the bulls from the steers.

Lanesville Gets Ready For The Forth!

| ,

Here is a little bit from last years bonfire, with a rousing drunken rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. This year we will be in the streets playing our one song and then celebrating freedom by burning a huge pile of wood! It does not get any better than that...

Canadian Mint Missing Gold

| , , ,

Looks like some hoser took over $15 million in gold - but in typical Canadian fashion - they are not making a big deal of it. Can you imagine the uproar in the US is this went missing from Fort Knox? This story is hardly above the horizon compared to when Obama spent some money to take the First Lady on a date. How can two nations that share so much be so different when it comes to this stuff?



Then again, here in the Land of the Free, nobody has been allowed into the vault at Fort Knox in many years...Who know what's left in there...
